By Rachel V. Knox

A house built high on the moor,A golden age ended by war,A house left empty, falling to ruin...During the Edwardian period, the wealthy Kearleys entertained important guests at their summer home on the moors; enjoying lavish parties showcasing the house and its views of the mountains.By the 1950s the house is falling apart, assailed by bleak winds on its moorland summit, and the last family to live there are preparing to move out. Their plans are stalled when, during a snowstorm, their youngest child, Alis, goes missing. Her siblings know more than they are letting on and try to keep their sister's disappearance secret.They must search for Alis in the 'other-house', the dark and empty part of the mansion, and it is here that they will find mysterious remnants of the original family.Gwylfa Hiraethog was built and rebuilt in North Wales, between 1898-1913, and derelict by the 1950s. This is the story of the first and last families to live at the house, the rise and fall of a golden age, and the onset of war and decline; played out against the backdrop of the house on the hill.
